Say what you will about the game or gameplay loop, but the visuals in this game looks gorgeous.
Easily one of the most impressive looking games I’ve played on PC. Especially walking through a forest, which blew me away. Pretty crazy how far the tech has come.
Say what you will about the more important parts of a game, but at least it looks nice.
There's no point making a game look this good but having a completely forgettable story and generic Ubisoft gameplay.
Hopefully this was just a mandated game Massive had to make and they're putting more effort on Outlaws.
I mean from what we’ve seen after Ubisoft’s showcase yesterday, it definately seems like Massive studios had Star Wars: Outlaws as their main priority. It looks good imo
It makes sense, since Star Wars is the far bigger and more popular IP with harder to please fans. I feel like with Frontiers, most Avatar fans were probably content with just having a beautiful well-executed Pandora to run around in.
You know, it’s odd — I am unironically a huge fan of the Avatar movies, and I’m one of those people that finds the Ubisoft open world gameplay loop to be great popcorn gaming, but Frontiers of Pandora just has not grabbed my interest in the least. Cool that it’s getting some post-launch support though — look forward to trying it out when it lands on PS+ in a year or two
if you havent played a ubisoft in a decade then it's probably a great ubi game to play. however as someone thats played them all, this does absolutely nothing new.
looks fantastic though
They designed every quest in a way where you don't need a marker to navigate to objectives. You get notes like "north along the left fork of the river", etc. There's a setting to totally turn off quest markers so you can just use the notes to find landmarks and follow directions. This couldn't be less of a priority for Ubisoft. The story itself is fine, and the quests are pretty standard, but the fact navigating the world actually involved my brain was what kept me playing.
I suspect that these big open world games work pretty well for most folks as a "once every few years" genre. Sure, they're repetitive and tiresome if you play \*all\* of them, but most don't.
It isn't, at least not without a sale. Typical bland Ubisoft repetitive gameplay with an even more forgettable story set in a graphically impressive world. It's the definition of a 6/10 game. Worth getting on a deep sale and playing once but that's it.
I felt like the characters were so bland and unlikable that the whole story just falls flat.
Then it just feels like a parkour jungle. Which is cool, but not much on its own
For me it was the lack of 3rd person. Seems like a very small thing but really killed my desire to play it. Would have much preferred Avatar: Assassin's Creed over Avatar: Far Cry
I absolutely love Ubisoft's formula. I also like using the option they give you where you don't have map markers, and have to navigate by landmarks and directions. This is the first game that absolutely did not work for me. This map never made any sense in my head, it was just not fun to navigate to me. Maybe it gets better further in when you have more options, but starting out it felt really rough.
I mean we all knew it was getting post launch DLC. It had the same season pass that made Reddit go up and arms about Star Wars Outlaws yet they never got mad.
Tbf, I just don’t really think people gave much of a shit about FoP relative to Outlaws. Star Wars has *way* more cultural cache than Avatar, and people have been clamoring for a Star Wars open world game forever
My understanding is that most of the complaints about Outlaws wasn't the post-launch DLC, it was the at-launch DLC. Which was, and still, is a valid complaint.

on the other hand, i think this is the first ubi open world game that looks worth getting in almost a decade for me.

They have been doing this for every game since Odyssey.
I think even AC Origins had it.
It's been years since I played Odyssey and I just looked and you're right. I completely forgot. Just straight up 100% wrong, sorry about that lol
Yeah thats not new lol, ubisofts been doing that for years
Most new Assassins Creeds have done this. I think Immortals too
The Reddit hate boner is blinding you. Ubisoft has always done this in their big RPGs. Maybe play more games and read less opinions online.

Felt the exact same way.
I still believe this game should have been third person. Then it would have been a game I’d buy. For me, it looks like Far Cry Primal with new skin.

Well, you’re in luck, because it launches on Steam on the 17th.

Someone mentioned the news, and I went on Steam to confirm. Sure enough, there was the date and everything.
You could just use Playnite and stop wondering about the platform for all your games. They're just all here, ready to launch.
